Number one I disagree with several of the reviewers here who say that Larry Bishop is miscast. He, Eric LaFleur and Michael Madsen are really really good and I agree with another brilliant reviewer who says the characters are literally in hell.

I would've never thought of that but I believe it's the correct interpretation...the hedonism, the revenge being taken with joy, the deceit and agony. All the characters feel make me think the other reviewer is exactly on it. It does have a spaghetti Western feel, and yet these characters are even more lost and misogynistic Then those in the Eastwood movies ... unlike other reviewers, I think this is a well written and smart script , it's fun at times and certainly has had me thinking about it well into the evening, after watching it this afternoon. Recommended? Certainly not for the faint of heart.

Look this isn't a classic like Barbara Stanwyks version of Christmas in Connecticut. But it's also not a word for word remake of the original script. Dyan Cannon is fantastic. Tony, Curtis, Kris Kristofferson, and Richard Roundtree round out the household names that are very good here , obviously having fun , but unknowns also shine like child actor, Jimmy workman, who went on the play Pugsley Adams in a couple of big movies as well as the actor that played the crazed Director . His last name I believe is Arnott. I mean, that guy is great , hilarious and deserves to have had a bigger career than he has had so far.

Sit back relax and enjoy the show; the last 10 or 15 minutes are terrific. I laughed out loud the whole time.

Again, it's just fun.
